Netgear R7000 Tomato VPN Support

Adding Tomato firmware allows for VPN service integration with PPTP for just about any provider as well as OpenVPN for most providers. At this time, Tomato firmware is currently the preferred method of connecting via OpenVPN for its improved stability and functionality over DD-WRT.

For more information on VPN service support, review the VPN Service Tab regarding supported services and protocols for the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Tomato FlashRouter.

Major Processor Upgrade

The R7000 model features a Tomato best-in-class processor: a Dual Core 1 GHz (1000 MHz) Broadcom CPU, which handily trumps even our top-end routers, which run on an excellent 600 MHz. In fact, this is the most popular dual core router we are offering with Tomato support.

Processing is the key to high performance routing, and this one has room to burn and grow as streaming video demands become increasingly more intensive. For VPN users, a large processor is an imperative component for enabling the constant encryption and decryption the router will perform. The better the processor, the faster the VPN-encrypted information can get to you.

Best in Class RAM/ Flash Memory in a Wireless Router

At 256 RAM, the R7000 matches the top end of router-based RAM, and offers 128 MB of active flash memory for flashing the most powerful and malleable Tomato build around. RAM and Flash memory are important for enabling the caching and saving of sites, which hastens connectivity to your most frequently visited sites. With more processor, more RAM/Flash memory are a must.

Wireless-AC Speed, Wireless-N Compatible

Offering the highest available dual band wireless speeds with up to 1900 Mbps Wireless-AC (450 2.4 Mbps & 1450 5.0 Mbps), , the R7000 and its eight internal antennas delivers the fastest performance for handling a large amount of connected devices. Compatible with Wireless-N/A/B/G/H devices like Xbox One, Smart TV, iPad, PS4, and even old laptops - a great boon for those looking for high quality HD video streaming or improved Skype video chat/FaceTime - the Netgear R7000 is created to handle it all and more!
